I experienced more failure of DMMs with MANY ranges and 360 deg rotation knobs. On the other hand autoranging ones with 6 to 8 switch positions for selection of volt, ohm, diode, temp, frequency(Hz) and current ranges are working fine.
It is very true that these meters also fail due to wrong applications like Volts while in Ohms etc. Thus it is not that meters fail, rather we kill them un-intentionally. I have used even simple Chinese meters ( you may call them One pound or $.2/- DMMs) for long periods.
